At least hand it off to someone instead of just letting it die facedown.

Handing it off to someone creates a whole new set of second hand responsibility, if the new maintainers go on to add something malicious.

a la: xz backdoor

The creator was shunned until everyone figured out he had handed it off to someone else.

If someone wants to continue, they can always fork it.

Appreciate the clarification, you just learned me one. Gotta love the discourse on Lemmy.

It's open source, isn't it? If anyone is really interested, they can fork it.
